EAS system

Hey everyone I have a 2007 LR3 today I was attempting to calibrate the suspension through my gap tool and after selecting the ‘test valves’ option and messing around with it, it lowered completely to the bumpstops. I have attempted to do the manual suspension calibration, when I selected that all 4 were at 250. Which seems to be the limit although Ive seen on forums that it should be at 493 in the front and 483 in the rear, but it simply will not go below 150 or above 250. I try the guided calibration, when I get to the first corner, tire, whatever you wanna call it, it says to increase to 493 mm (# might be wrong forgot to take a pic) but I cant. I press both the up and down arrows and nothing changes. I can hear the compressor going but nothing moves. Ive worked with this car before its simply just all of these numbers that are a bit confusing to me.

I do have one photo of what the calibration screen looks like, I genuinely cannot explain it tho, I believe the center number is the ‘new’ number? But then why are they negative?

UPDATE: Disconnected battery and removed fuse to allow it to reset, nothing happened. Going back in to attempt the guided calibration, once I go through each corner and go to allow it, it says operation failed E 1. I click on re-enable EAS, click allow, I hear the chime and then it says to go up or down on the height lever in center console. I should have mentioned this in my original post, I have the RED suspension fault light, the codes say that each height sensor is not reading. I check the voltage of them and they are low low.

First time Land Rover

Hi everyone, I’m looking to get an LR3 I found one with 187k miles on it and the seller says he has all the receipts for the work he’s done on it including the brakes and new air suspension. My question is what kind of questions should I ask him when I go see it? I’ve always wanted a Land Rover since the Discovery 2 came out but steered away because everyone said they were so unreliable. I did my research and I think that’s just people who don’t want to put the car into owning a great beast of a vehicle. Any advice would be helpful. I do plan on getting it inspected before buying but I feel like it’s a steal for 6k. Am I wrong?

Wheel lock replacement

Hey guys, just bought my first Rover. 2017 Discovery Sport. My first mistake was purchasing this vehicle from Carvana. They definitely did not inspect it because it already has a multitude of issues and is in the shop. Anyways, we didn’t realize this at first but the wheel lock is missing from the truck. Carvana won’t help me at all with it. The repair shop said they can’t break it off without damaging my rim. I know I can call a Rover dealer, but are there any universal wheel locks that I could possibly purchase online? Cheers everyone!

Best LandRover wheel arches for my defender 90?

A while back I bought some black wheel arches for my LandRover 90, however I’m not sure on the chunky shape and design, my wheels are smaller and compared with the fenders it looks odd. I like the style of the current classic wheel arches but with the black colour any ideas? I would appreciate any suggestions *I’ve attached a picture of the arches ⬆️

Best way to add wireless carplay to my 2016 Discovery Sport?

There are external devices available that can add Carplay functionality to any car’s integrated media center. These devices are designed to be plug-and-play, making them easy to install and use. For instance, there are portable Carplay units that connect to a car’s AUX input for audio, and they draw power from a standard car power outlet.

Has anyone here tried this on their Land Rover and if so, what would you recommend?

This particular example is perhaps just an adaptor for wireless connection but it's pretty much the same idea, a simple dongle that connects to the car.

https://amzn.eu/d/f7yewXA

The example they have in the following article is an entire screen, whereas I'm simply looking for just a dongle like the example above but with full portable carplay functionality.

https://9to5google.com/2022/09/23/android-auto-add-unit-car/

Context

Got my first ever car, a 2016 Discovery Sport.

The Media Centre is ass and is really my only complaint about the car. The lack of car play and the constant Bluetooth interruption make it a major inconvenience. The satnav is also horrible. Basically everything wrong with the car is with the digital stuff.

I read some of the threads on this sub about a device that can be installed behind the screen to add carplay functionality but that requires a specialist who practically takes the entire car console apart to install the electronic component. It's also expensive AF costing almost 2k on average.

2016 LR4 Deal Service History Question

Searched and don't see anyone addressing this yet. I'm scoping out a 2016 LR4 with 108k miles on it. I have a PPI schedule for Monday at a very respectible family owner indie shop that specialized in Land Rover.

The LR4 is 1 owner, always serviced at the dealership (according to CarFax). I checked here: https://osh.landrover.com/ but there is nothing listed at all.

CarFax only show that it was at the dealership for service 2-3 times year. It only show what must be some of the oil changes. It does show very regular tire and brake replacement.

Since it was services at the same local dealership for it's whole life to date, any chance they would provide me with those service records in a print out or something?

Based on the CarFax, I see the following items have been replaced at that local dealership (in addition to regular tires, brakes, and oil changes) over it's life:

Velar Lease

Looking for input on a Velar Lease (or any questions I should be considering). Appreciate anything you can share..first time leasing.

2024 Velar 250 S $63,391 MSRP $60,396 Selling Price

12k Miles | $1,890 DAS | $955.66/month

I’m thinking I can get that selling price down a little lower. By my math the RV is about .59 (don’t have MF). I understand these things don’t have the most optimal numbers but want to get the best I can.

Thanks!

Trunk latch button won’t release the trunk - 2001 Range Rover

Hey there,

My back trunk can be fickle and sometimes the trunk won’t open when I press the release button.

Happened again today, and this time the locks are randomly locking and unlocking if I press it.

Help?

2010 LR2 weak start and stalling.

Hey all, Looking for a bit of help.

About 3 weeks ago I noticed that my 2010 LR2 was pretty weak when trying to start it. I popped in a new battery and it was a little better but not the usual start up.

I figured it was the starter starting to go out, so I ordered a new one. Today it was delivered and on my way home from work today with the vehicle, it had a weak start again, but this time for the first time it also had fuel / power issues, Lack of power and clunky / high shifts. Also a few codes popped up,

P0175 and P0101. The car also stalled multiple times on the way home. I was able to unhook the battery and try again but now it will not start at all. Battery is still good.

Is it just the starter and the weak start for the last time glitched the fuel system? I had the fuel pump replaced less than a year ago. I also changed the MAF about a year and half ago.

Thanks all

Changing from LR4 to what?

I really love driving my LR4 TDV6 but although it's only 125k miles, it starts having failure on failure... I fix one thing, another one fails. Fuel leak, coolant leak, oil leak, intake manifolds, lights... I feel next will be either an airbag or compressor. Nothing major or very expensive but having the car staying more often at the mechanic's than home is getting annoying and I'm thinking about replacing it.

The problem is I tried several other large SUVs (note that I need 7 seats) and nothing compares to LR. Comfort and materials quality is unmatched. Also I have a tight budget (around $15k)

Mercedes and BMW are close but I have seen on their own subs that their big SUVs are money pits too, they have as many issues as LRs, not to mention Volvo. I haven't seen a Toyota within my budget, even with 200k miles. I tried more popular brands (I'm in Europe so that would be Fiat, Renault, Peugeot, Skoda, Hyundai, Nissan and such) but compared to an LR they feel so cheap (percieved quality is low) I feel like it would be a huge downgrade. And it's not as if they were doing a great job about reliability.

So I don't know what to do. Get another LR4 hoping to be more lucky? Getting another model from LR, maybe a Discovey Sport? I know it's smaller and and has cheaper architecture (transverse engine, etc) but there is still the premium comfort and materials of LR. But how reliable is it compared to the LR4?

Other suggestions maybe?

Or should I keep my beloved LR4 and continue fixing it week after week?

InTouch Control Pro Discovery 2017 Latest Version?

Hi all.

I own a 2017 Discovery 5 HSE and wondered what the latest software version is? The car is telling me it's currently on 19C and although I've connected the car to the internet using my home WiFi, no updates are apparently available. I've read on forums and Reddit more recent versions such as 21c etc, are these applicable to my car? Do I need the dealer to update?

Thanks all in advance.
